AFJF Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Wasn't drafted by current regime. Does he have the feet? Yes. Is he strong enough? No. Will he put in the work to get stronger? Not sure. Could probably throw Cashman in there. Very crowded ILB group and notable injury history. Edited May 17, 2020 by AFJF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mrcoops Posted May 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2020 I think Edoga makes it as the 3rd Tackle, backing up on both sides. Not so sure on Cashman. He looked good when he was in there, but his injury history is extensive and the Jets have added loads of depth at LB. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sperm Edwards Posted May 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2020 Too soon to tell for sure, but I think he sticks. He has ability / upside on paper, so I think he’s very unlikely to get cut, but they understandably couldn’t pencil him in as starter after that rookie season. For all the talk from some about QB when Morgan was drafted, Darnold has zero actual competition, and I’ve never heard that effort is an issue with him. But Edoga’s more of a position (or position group) where competition should make him better. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edoga because of work ethic concerns and Cashman due to injury history and crowded ILB group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is it? Now, that Joe Douglas did such a magnificent job cutting all the dead weight and replaced them with 5 brand new pro bowlers? What an utterly absurd stance. The fact is, JD put a BAND-AID over a 5 year long issue. At least 3 of those guys he signed could be gone after only a single season. ALL of those players were brought here as stopgaps. Nothing more. Douglas wants to build through the draft. Players like Becton, Edoga, and Lewis are the New York Jets future OL if not they are already. Edoga will have an opportunity just like everyone else on the roster to start on the OL. The future will tell the truth about Edoga. But to say he'll be gone because Douglas had no loyalty to a MAC pick is completely foolish. There simply isn't enough talent, even after FA, to play games claiming player X doesn't have the right bloodline. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 If there’s even a shred of truth to the Jason Peters rumor, then Edoga is probably in trouble. He has some physical gifts, but there’s no way to ignore how bad he was on the field last year. His issues (according to Pauline) seem to be between the ears, so maybe the org is afraid he’ll never reach his potential. Prrsonally, I’d like to keep him and see if he develops, but the OL group is pretty crowded all of a sudden, and Fant appears to be the guy who’s going to occupy that developmental athletic tackle role. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammybighead Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Both will make it. Don't get cocky yet about our oline, it's not like we brought in 3 all pros. Also cashman has a unique skillset at lb. He can run and cover better than any lb we have. He's not getting cut unless it's clear his injury is basically catastrophic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prrsonally, I’d like to keep him and see if he develops, but the OL group is pretty crowded all of a sudden, and Fant appears to be the guy who’s going to occupy that developmental athletic tackle role. Here are my concerns about Edoga as the number one thing the Jets need him to do is hit the weights and get stronger and as we know, this regime has no ties to him: Allowing a Pac-12 low six pressures last season, Edoga’s journey to NFL has been long and turbulent. A former five-star recruit, Edoga entered USC with a lot of hype, but injuries and inconsistent play never quite saw Edoga to live up to expectations. https://www.conquestchronicles.com/2019/4/26/18519271/2019-nfl-draft-chuma-edoga-goes-to-the-new-york-jets-in-the-third-round With some questions about work ethic and inconsistency, Edoga still looks the part and has the ideal athleticism to become a solid starter in the NFL. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/chuma-edoga/32194544-4f33-7482-f251-ab502d650176 Weaknesses Unusual build with long legs, thin calves and shorter torso Core power misses the mark Lacks fundamentals and control in his pass sets Weight distribution for pass slides drifts outside and back Must eliminate windup in his punch Speed-to-power can walk him into pocket Inconsistent base width with footwork that isn't repeatable from snap to snap Falls forward into contact in effort to manufacture anchor Slow to find work after his rusher voids Narrow drive base allows opponents to escape from his power zone Nonchalant as block finisher, allowing a win to turn into a loss https://jetswire.usatoday.com/2019/06/27/new-york-jets-general-manager-joe-douglas-mike-maccagnan-jachai-polite-chuma-edoga-character-concerns/ Maccagnan’s last draft class with the Jets left Douglas with two players who have character concerns. Throughout the pre-draft interview process, edge rusher Jachai Polite’s work ethic was frequently questioned, as was his maturity. Offensive lineman Chuma Edoga failed a drug test at USC and was disciplined as a result. He also once shoved an official during a game and was ejected for it. If Douglas was calling the shots in April, odds are he would’ve passed on both Polite and Edoga. Their talent is undeniable, but their character makeup does not fit with Douglas or even head coach Adam Gase. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Mart Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Maybe Douglas wouldn’t have picked Edoga but he has been in the Jets building for over a year and we haven’t heard of any reported issues, concerns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetmech Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Cutting one of the few young OL is crazy. He got his feet wet last year. Seemed to start to stabilize until he was injured against the raiders. Unfortunate for him to miss the remaining games for further evaluation...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClashFan Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Coin flip? Edoga has NFL experience at both OT spots, some talent, and should be motivated to play with USC alum Darnold. If he's having a good offseason (getting stronger), then he'll stick. If he's not, then those work ethic concerns will get him cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I can’t see Edoga being cut. He was expected to be a developmental guy. So a rough start shouldn’t have been a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, agree here. Polite was a big boom or bust player. Very high risk with small chance of finding a good edge rusher. It was a bad pick for a third rounder. You gamble on a guy like that later in the draft or UDFA. Edoga got valuable experience in 2019. Why not keep him as depth and monitor his progress for another year? He could eventually become a starter with the right coaching and attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
